FINALLY, after so much time, a new video, yay! 😊 Hope you like it, another beach shoot, another stunning model, and another Nikon camera review 😅 th-cam.com/video/3SQhoCUg3Nw/w-d-xo.html
Hi guys, it's Sergio Barreto from Brazil here. We'd like to thanks for all the feedback, it's been a joyfull ride for all of us. We're simply thrilled, so thanks a lot! It's been a pleasure and an honor to have lived such an iconic character. A character that's now imortal in our hearts, through the iconic performance by Lance Henriksen.
Hey, i know it does not really correlates with canon, but let me try to theorise where exactly i think this short movie happened. I think it happened in alternative universe, there were a different colony in LV-426, more advanced and weaponised - they had battle cyborgs. I think commanding officers of the colony already knew that there is a xenomorphs on the planet, so they started to send people there. Mentioned patient zero were the first woman who encountered eggs - and been jmped up with facehugger. Another patients also went under the same fate. That cyborg shooting patients - is colony oficers realising that they let things get out of control and too many now infected, so they killed remaining hosts. But it was too late, since xenos made a hive in the shores of the colony. Newt's mother were along the infected. Newt herself managed to escape and hide, while reesearch staff, soldiers, cyborgs and officers were fighting the aliens, but they were overwhelmed. Ripley and the marines arrived few days later. But whole situation went a little different that were in Aliens. Bishop loaded all the information from colony's black box and needed to transfer that information back to the company. But in result, USCM rescue operation went in disaster, so in the end before nuclear exposion in the colony Ripley, Newt and corporal Hicks managed to escape. Bishop chose to stay on the planet to give them time to fly away. Unortunatelly, they missed a facehugger on the ship. So when they went cryotubes, facehugger successfully infected Ripley, but caused a fire onto Sulako. Then, pretty much Alien 3 happened, but with Newt and Hicks survived. Ripley also realised that she was infected, and killed herself in front of arrived WY stuff, and also distracting them from Newt and Hicks escaping the planet. Years passed. Hicks and Newt joined the galactic nomads, and Newt swore on her parent's grave to fight Weyland Yutani and the xenomorph, because they took everything she loved and cared about. One of these days she took a ship and flew to the ruins of the colony on LV-426 to face her past and what really happened on that colony. And to say her goodbyes.

Hi! Some folks are wondering where this story takes place in the canon timeline, and it simply fits nowhere. ;) We had less than a thousand bucks for the entire production, so the only way to go would be to keep things simple, and play with a minimalist story. As amateur films are so hard to produce, it'd be too complex for our budget to create new characters, and start their development arcs from the beginning. We decided the only possible scenario would be to play with already existing characters (whose arcs every Alien fan already knows), and simply go from there, exploring an alternate storyline for these characters' devastated emotional conditions. It's not meant to be canon in any way :) It's just a love letter to James Cameron's work, to these unforgettable characters and the amazing actors that brought them to life. Also, it's a bit of playing with every Aliens fan ultimate dream: "what if Newt was alive, where would the story go?". It's kinda a "what if" scenario, although a very vague one. ;) In the end, it's just a love letter. Nothing more. We had little budget and wanted somehow to show our love for the franchise. Thanks for watching! :D
I can't believe you did this on a budget that small. It looks like it cost $5,000 to make! I loved every minute of this. Maybe you should call James Cameron and ask if he is interested in making a story about Newt.

hi largol33t1. Thanks! When you live in a relatively small town in Brazil where nothing interesting ever happens, if you show up to a group of actors saying "guys, let's shoot a fanfilm?", yeah, they'll be all very excited. Most will do it just for the sheer pleasure of being in a film. (also, it's good portfolio for all of us) The same goes for me I guess, I've worked behind the scenes (pre, production and post-production) for about a full year, and no payment. Sometimes, just being able to do what you love is amazing enough. Most of the gear used (specially pro Nikon lenses) I've already had, as I worked as a photographer back in the day. Also important to say, these locations were all free. No payment or permits were needed to use those locations. Having essentially no costs with crew, gear and locations, the overall costs were quite minimal in the end. That's how we did it so cheap ^_^ On one hand it was cheap to produce, but on the other hand, the real "costs" were tons and tons of hard work from everyone involved. You really gotta love what you're doing, to make it to the very end of the post production schedule. We're now post producing a new short film (not Aliens based this time), but production costs were a bit more serious this time. I've spent 25 k on this new project, and even 25 k is barelly a scratch compared to pro cinema. Thanks for watching and the super kind comments :D Thanks a lot!
How could some one not like this? they kill the girl in the 3rd movie because theyre setting it in a rapist colony and they just want to avoid having a little girl wandering around they just need to eject "compromised pods" on the new infection at place in that way you could get your 3rd movie yet allowing this to happens
Hard work. Closure for Newt. Very spot-on cast hired for it. Well done! (rough narrative!)

Thank you D. Wor! Really sorry for taking so long to reply, I was too focused on my photography channel that I didn't notice so many new comments on our Aliens short film. I appreciate a lot that you enjoyed our little film, thank you! Luiza Greca surely was the perfect cast for Newt, we were all very proud of her work. If you want to support us, please give a like on our photography videos. These short films are just a hobby, the actual focus of the channel are the fashion photo shoot videos. I'll leave a link, if you can, please leave a like to help us :) Here's a bikini shoot with the gorgeous Aline Zermiani, former holder of a prestigious beauty title th-cam.com/video/EM9riV4rdpE/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much!
This is what Aliens 3 should have been, where the movie we actually got could have been the "twist end reveal" as Newt uncovers even darker truths and conspiracies involving the WYC.
This video is so full of emotion. Pain. Grief. The injustice. Not the first time I've watched this one, and every time I feel that same squeeze around my heart. Beautiful video.
I'm an aspiring filmmaker, and a die hard fan of H.R. Geiger's concept. This was a gift he left for all of us. What you did here, with this clip, is elaborate and expanded a little further on this gift, and in another language. You continued the art with the beauty of giving it in another language. This was phenomenal! Thank you. 😚😘😉👍🏾
Hi from the US. Excellent. Thank you for transporting me into your narrative.

Hi! This is Marcio, I've made this little fanfilm. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :) it's been a huge surprise and honor that this short film, which was recklessly made for fun in the free hours, has entertained so many people over the years, reaching out to almost a million views. So glad, and so surprised! Thank you! I really am. We've got another short in the works, which hopefully will be finished and will be a step above, carrying another beautiful message of altruism, friendship, courage, honor and bravery. Thank you once again for watching :)
I expected a bunch of teenagers with a webcam doing a reinactment of their favourite movie ... ... and I got THAT! That was phenomenal - everything, the music, the visuals and especially the acting were superb. But obviously the editing and direction as well. Just amazing.

Michael Dortman Hi Michael! Really glad you liked it :) Such kind words really mean a lot to us, to keep moving forward to the next project without ever earning a penny back. (how I wish Kickstarter were a reality here in Brazil too... ;D ) Thanks a lot, Michael! In case you wanna follow our projects, let's keep in touch. We're about to start shooting a new short film, that will take everything that worked on Aliens and will now elevate these to the next level (a bit more budget, more experience, extra care, extra love). It will be based on the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Lol yeah, we'll dare enter those disturbed waters :) It's a crazy plan, but I'm sure it will work. There's tons of love being sqeezed into it. Thanks once again, Michael. Have a nice week :)
Wow. Not a single alien, but this really captures the sombre atmosphere of the movie.

DrownedInExile Thanks a lot! Really thanks! :) As we had no budget to try anything action oriented, we decided the best way to go would be to keep things simple, and play with the characters' devastated emotional conditions. The beauty of the Alien franchise is that it's much deeper on drama, it's much more 3d on human emotions, than many other sci-fi franchises. We tried to capture at least a little bit of that. DrownedInExile, thanks a lot for your kind words!
Congratulations to Brazil for this short movie. Well done! Muito obrigado!

Hi Knut, thank you so much! It's kinda unfortunate that we've alredy shot another much deeper, much improved (on all accounts) short but there simply isn't enough time to finish post production, and has been so since principal photography wrapped up in 2016. It's a short following the same basic idea: an amazing cast (most of them from this Aliens short film), superb acting, VFX, a dramatic story line and a story of bravery, companionship, courage, autruism and rise to a larger than life challenge. Hopefully one day it will be finished, hopefully :D in the meantime, thank you so much for supporting, watching and commenting :) Obrigado !!!
This is truly amazing and a far more satisfying conclusion to Aliens than Alien 3. For a bare bones budget, everybody who worked on this film deserves the highest of praise.
James Cameron's Aliens has been one of my favourite science fiction/horror films since first watching it in 1988. For your description of the production budget being less than $1,000 used for this, this was a beautifully shot short film and tribute to Aliens. I always wanted to see Newt's perspective as an adult - thank you for providing this.
Dennis, thank you so much! Really wish somewhere down the road I'm able to do another short film. It's been a while... Thank you my great sir!

Hi Jordan! Thanks !!! :D And yeah, I 100% agree, Luiza Greca's performance as Newt was simply superb. I feel trully blessed to have such a talented young actress in our cast. I wish, with all my heart, that she grabs some opportunity in the American industry, Hollywood or indie. She's THAT talented :) Thanks a lot again, Jordan!
Márcio Napoli Oh, I'd love to see her get the opportunity to work in Hollywood. Has Luzia been in any other films or short films?

Márcio Napoli Jordan A Hey you guys!! Thank you so much! At the moment I don't have any work available ): But I hope to have more soon! Thanks again Jordan!
Excellent job with this!! Your eye for composition with the angles and lighting is definitely paying off here :) And btw that guy who's playing bishop, well the likeness isnt there BUT... he's the spitting image of Hicks!
ปีที่แล้ว
Hey Jason, thank you so much! I wish I could put together a behind the scenes video (maybe I really should someday!), because there're some insane off cameras things to tell about. Example: the leading actress (Luiza) had never seen Aliens at the time, and just read the screenplay once I guess, and oh boy, she nailed it. The whole crater scene was shot in a single night way up into the dawn. When Sergio got up (Bishop), his legs were stiff almost as frozen, while lying down for many hours in the cold mud. BTW, if you liked his work, he has a relatively large YT channel here in Brazil (you can look for it as "Projeto Ator"). The main light you see on Newt and Bishop is nothing else than my car's headlight pointed towards them the whole night. Smokes effect came from a fog machine, which was pulling energy through a 100m cable connected to a nearby house (which we just asked politely if we could have their wall AC). Those were the days... That's what it takes to make low budget indie movies :) Thanks for watching and the kind words, thank you! ☺

Hi everyione! We've just published a new video: "The Mummy - Marcio Napoli". Just follow the link: The Mummy - part 1: th-cam.com/video/HaWavqjlXZc/w-d-xo.html . Would love to have your feedback there. It's a mix between fashion photography and movies, as it's basically shot in a movie set we've built.
You did this with less than $1000 ??? That movie looks better than many Hollywood movies, and I'm dead serious. What you did is amazing. I love the Alien franchise, and I thank you.

Hi! I'm super flattered by your comment, I really am! And on behalf of the whole cast, thank you so much! To be really honest, that little short was done without giving it too much thought (reason why the screenplay takes so much liberty - we could've never imagined it would eventually cross the half million views), that was shot way back in 2012 on a lowly GH2 (very poor 1080p video compared to today's offerings) and a very low end PC. It's funny to think the lighting was partially done with my car headlights turned on throughout the whole night, providing that yellowish main light on the actors' faces lol :D So much improvised stuff. Yup, very low budget. But it's even more interesting to think with the exact same $1000 bucks today, so much better could have been done, I believe literally achieving professional cinema standards. Because nowadays there're much better cameras, lenses, lighting, audio and travelling gear available, faster computers, better stuff on all levels, not to mention we all got some extra experience in those years. I already have another sci-fi screenplay written (it's not on the Alien Franchise, it's an original story following the same emotional and visual themes we see in franchises like Alien, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell). A story that would be made under much, muuch larger production value. I believe I can make it happen, we just need free time (this is a just a hobby lol) and some spare cash. Really hopping the whole world gets well and healthy again as soon as possible. Once again, thank you for your kindest words!
This is beautiful, very well shot, fantastic acting from all cast. This is one of the best fan films out there, you deserve a lot of praise for this wonderful alien short film. It has more emotion than recent alien movies on the big screen. Well done to all involved.
This is truly great! I loved the characters Newt and Bishop in the original movies. Like the actors in those movies, the actors here, the direction, and the effects are awesome!
Loved this. Why couldn't Alien 3 have been more like this. Only thing I want to mention was that Newts father was Patient Zero on LV426 as is shown in the extended cut. But thats a minor nitpick. Great job. I hppe.you continue as a film maker.

Filme incrível. O Brasil precisa começar a investir mais em filmes como esse. Parabéns equipe, vocês arrasaram.
Luiza Greca Show !! Que potencial !! Se já foi um sucesso esse curta com cerca de 10 min !! Imagina a possibilidade um longa contando com o apoio de um estúdio que detenha os direitos leia-se 20th Fox como é o caso de a mesma agora pertencer ao panteão de aquisições da Disney !! 😅👍🏻
What a film! No words... just a marvel! Minimall staff limited resourses.. but still much greater and more emotional and...and...than many movies with huge budgets and big stars in the casts. Mr. Ridley Scott must see this and expand this story onto the feature film. Together with you. Marcio and others of course)
Hi Richard, this soundtrack is magnificent isn't it. Without a doubt, creating something with a heavy dramatic load and playing with this soundtrack were 2 of the main goals in making this short film. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow, this was an extraordinary fan film! I can't believe I have never seen this before. Amazing direction; beautifully shot with impressive visual FX; great screenplay with powerful emotional moments (especially where Newt hears her mother's final message to her); and an impressive cast. I am honestly stunned at the quality of this piece! Wonderful work. A salute to Marcio Napoli, Luiza Greca (who was phenomenal in the role of Newt), Sergio Barreto, and everyone else involved. From the mouth of someone who has been a long-time fan of Aliens since he was a child, I love this fan film!

+Lux Bellator Hi Lux, thanks a lot, my friend! The kindest comments such as yours is what makes us go foward and keep going strong, driving us through the obstacles that inevitably happens along amateur productions. On behalf of our team, from all our hearts, thank you! About Luiza, she's amazing, isn't she? :D I truly wish she could have opportunities overseas, as I believe she could be a movie star having the right connections. I wish her all the luck, and really do hope a movie producer is watching this short film, so she's able to find her way into Hollywood. I hope the best for the entire cast, everyone made an amazing job. Lux, since you liked this short film, we're already doing another one :D (but it won't be Aliens based this time). The next project will be inspired by the Last Airbender franchise, which I'm also a huge fan. We hope to grab at least a tiny bit of the cartoon's emotional core, and hope it'll work at an emotional level as much as Aliens did. It will explore themes like responsability, altruism, loss, courage, honor, friendship and love. We're just about to enter shooting phase, so it's still a long road before it's finished. We expect at least 3 months shooting principal photography, and another 6 to 8 months on post-production. It's a long road ahead... lol :) But as soon as it's finished, I'll PM you :D Once again, our deepest gratitude, Lux. Thanks a lot :D
Márcio Napoli Oh, thank you for such an in depth reply, Marcio! You are most welcome though, friend. It's most deserving. I'm glad my words could mean so much :) And yes, Luiza is amazing! Her performance blew me away. I hope she finds success overseas also. She deserves it. Liking the sound of your next project! I must admit, this may sound like blasphemy, but I haven't yet had a chance to see that show in its entirety, but I most certainly plan to! Looks like a great series, and I like the sound of the direction you're taking. Will any of the cast from this Aliens short be featured in that movie as well? And yes, of course. That's completely understandable. But yes, please do! I'll be waiting on the other end once it's finished :) Pleasure was all mine, Marcio. And please, call me Jon. Take care, :)
Just stumbled across this gem. What you people did with a month's welfare in Finland far surpasses a plethora of full length movies in terms of dialogue, acting, editing, direction, visuals and CGI, dramatic beats and use of score albeit not original but the use was to a perfect effect. I applaud you. All of you.

Hi Tarva, I'm gobsmacked at your comment! :D It warms my heart to a point I can't describe in words, and I can say that on behalf of all the casting. I don't have enough words to thank you! From all my heart, I seriously appreciate it. Although we haven't released yet, we have another short already shot (in 2016, still waiting for post production to be completed) based on a very popular and beloved franchise (the Last Airbender's Avatar), and I have a screenplay written for an original sci-fi short that will borrow the same dramatic themes from the Aliens franchise, a story about bravery, compassion, altruism, friendship when two people are facing a life ending situation in a sci-fi battle. Both of these new films are still being made under amateur, hobbyist conditions, but since 2014 I've discovered a few techniques that will allow these shorts to really look like massive budget productions, even though they're still low budget amateur films. It's a lot of hard work, but when we receive comments like yours, it all becomes effortless, we feel all this time and personal money invested has paid off. From all my heart, thank you. Lovely words like yours is what keep pushing us forward through the challenges of amateur filmmaking.
I love the minimalism of the narrative; the visuals are captivating; this is a very emotionally-driven piece. Great work!

Hey Jason, sorry for the super late reply. I'm trying to catch up, since (sort of) rebooting my YT channel a couple of years ago. Thank you so much! That was in fact our main goal here. It's not at all about visual FX, or the alien creature itself. I was far, far more interested in creating something emotionally-driven as you brilliantly put, something that could explore the pain and emotional devastation these characters were going through. Thank you for watching and commenting :) Well, if you wanna take a look, here's a trailer for our latest short film, which was entirely shot in 2016 but editing was never completed. I'm posting the trailer on my channel to see if we can find support, in order to finish this latest short. Here's a link for the trailer: th-cam.com/video/d016FEDqNt8/w-d-xo.html as was the case with this Aliens short, it's very emotionally driven as well. Jason, thank you so much for stopping by and commenting, I appreciate it a lot :)
This short...oh man. I was welling up watching it. My favorite part is how you grabbed the best of Alien 3 which was the emotional soundtrack and implemented it into a really well made fan made film. Thank you for making this, it was a great experience.

Hi Greg, wow! I had to sign in just to reply you back. Thanks a lot, my friend, you can't possibly imagine how happy and rewarded with feel after hearing such kind words. It just gives us fuel to keep moving forward. Thanks a lot, really! Right now, we're post-producing another short film we've shot earlier this year (this time it won't be based on the Aliens franchise). It will take the best parts of this Aliens short movie (the emotional core and great cast) and mix into an even bigger, Lord of the Ring-like, emotional journey. It will take some time to finish the post-production phase, but as soon as it's done, I'll gladly email you to present this new short film. Thanks a lot for watching, and for the kindest words. :)
+Márcio Napoli Please do, I really loved this. It really shows you guys put alot of care into something and is a shining example that you don't have to have an amazing budget to make something look so amazing. Please do email me.

Hi Greg! Once again, thanks a ton for your kindness! I even saw you replying another commenter just a few posts below, defending our little movie regarding changes in the official storyline. Thanks a ton!! :) haha yeah!, there was a lot of passion on this Aliens project, but I'm proud to say that everything we did on this Aliens fanfilm won't compare to what we're doing on our next project. This next short film (which is based on the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise - yeah, we'll dare enter those waters! haha) ran for a year and a half in continuous pre-production phase (crafting the story, then screenplay, storyboard, casting, building characters, costumes, props, etc). Those were about 18 months of real hard work, wihout earning a single penny xD. I've paid for all the production costs, which ended up in about 25 grand, which is a lot considering there's no external funding. I just believe when you dream of something, go on full 300% mode, never go something in between. Then, earlier this year, we've spent 3 months shooting with our cast (everyone, me included, working for free). Well, free is not the best word to describe it. We did it for love. And now, this short film is going through a long post-production journey, which will probably go on for the next 12 months, with endless nights awake in front of the pc, working on the visual effects. This entire process far exceeds what we did on Aliens, I'm really proud to say :) It will take some time to show you the finished project, but I'll gladly email you when the time comes. =D Thanks a lot once again, my friend. Greetings from Brazil !
Galera, obrigado à todos pelos views e likes! Muito obrigado!! Se curtiram este fan film e puderem nos ajudar, publiquem no facebook :) Será uma tremenda ajuda =D Já estamos em pré-produção do próximo curta (que vai superar o Aliens em todos os sentidos). Aguardem! (para mais info, me procurem por email: marcio3d@gmail.com) Em nome de toda a equipe, agradeço todo o apoio e incentivo!
I thoroughly enjoyed this short!! The film quality was absolutely superb! And the use of Alien 3 soundtrack was perfect! It conveys so much loss and despair but so beautiful. I really liked what you did with the story, it really could be a great tv show in the fashion you have made. Great job!

patrick thompson Hi Patrick! I'm really glad you liked so much, thanks my friend! :) We're trying to enter shooting phase of a new short film, based on the Avatar world (The Last Airbender Avatar, not the Jim's Cameron one lol). The idea is to fully explore themes of hope, loss, pain and despair once again, themes that are deeply related to the human nature itself, and that define us as human beings. We're still trying to enter the shooting phase, because as amateur films are so hard to produce, it takes a lot of lucky to make all things fit into place. But we're doing our best, hopefully it will happen!Patrick, thanks again for the kind words. :) Have a nice week!
Thank you so much Neil :) From all my heart, kind words like yours pushes us toward into the next project. We feel it's all worthy it. Thank you so much for watching and commenting !

Hey Jason, thank you so much! This was actually our goal :) it was not all about being in line with the canon events of the franchise... it was way more about exploring the pain, scars, and the emotional journey these characters have gone through. Thank you so much! We actually have shot another short (not related to the Alien franchise) which explore these themes in an even better way, but unfortunately I can't find free time to finish the post-production. I really hope someday we can finish it :D !

Jordan A Luiza Greca New Adventure Cinema Hi Jordan! I believe we're not following up that specific project on the Aliens universe... It's been one h#ll of a ride :D, which I'm extremelly glad to be part of, but maybe it's time to try something new. :) We've got tons of other projects, mostly for dramatic stories with a mix of sci fi, waiting for a chance to see the light of day. But living here in Brazil, it's pretty much a solid 100% certain that nothing will ever happen, on a comercial way I mean, so every project is made from our own pockets, and must be very carefully chosen. I've been thinking of starting a project on Kickstarter to gather funds, but then again, the funds cannot be transfered to a Brazilian account, as I've read on their page. :( So that idea pretty much died on birth :( haha Any chance you're willing to be our agent in the US? ;D Have a nice week, Jordan
Huge Aliens fan here and I must admit, this was well done! I'd love to see more if you have any plans on doing more!

Hey D Mc, sorry for the super late reply. I've been rebooting my channel for the past couple of years, so I'm trying to catch up with all comments here. I do have a nice screenplay already finished for a new sci-fi, which is also very heavy on the dramatic background. It's not based on the Aliens franchise, it would be an original story. Problem is we haven't even finished post production for our last short film (which is entirely shot since 2016, but editing was never finished). Here's a trailer for that short if you wanna take a look: th-cam.com/video/d016FEDqNt8/w-d-xo.html
Very well performed, directed, and edited. You played to the strengths you had and avoided the typical pitfalls of many independent productions of this sort. Well done. My only criticism, which was leveled at the film by others, is the slight overuse of score. I think a few more moments letting the performers penetrate through in silence would have suited the project for the better. Nevertheless, well done. I salute all of you for your hard work and obvious love of the Alien series.

Hi OpenMawProductions, I guess you guys are spot on, at the end of the day, I agree entirely. I've watched this video countless times by now, and I gotta say I agree with you. As an inexperienced amateur filmmaker, I guess I felt too scared to let the emotions breathe, and carry the weight of the scene just by the actors performances and the text itself, without any soundtrack behind. It's somewhat a lack of confidence, we could say :) Gotta take notes on that for a next project! Thanks again for watching, OpenMawProductions!
Thank you Marcio Napoli for this wonderful and heartbreaking "What If". 20th Century Fox had an infinite universe of possibilities with the Alien franchise and they botched it. I 'Booed' at the end of Alien 3. Ridley Scott added further damage with his 'Prequels'. Your Aliens: LV-426 is proof there are people out there with imagination and originality flowing through their viens. You dont need mega millions to produce quality product. This was engaging. There was genuine emotion. You could feel the lonliness and desparation and need for answers. Not one drop of blood or slime. Again, thanks for breathing life into Newt and Bishop. Your film could very well be a springboard for some studio executive trying to figure out how to get the franchise back on track.

Edward, can't find enough words to thank you. I signed in just to reply, thank you so much! To be honest, this little fanfilm's biggest merit may not be its originality, as it borrows established elements from all over the Alien franchise (specially from Aliens and Alien 3). But one thing we really wanted to pass to our audience: a movie doesn't need fancy high end visual effects, humongous budget or major set pieces to actually work. All it needs is to show genuine love for the characters, their story arcs and their journeys. As long as there is deep, real emotion, the audience will connect to those characters. Alien 4 and both Prequels have failed to achieve the status of classics, because they've failed to establish any lasting impression with those characters. We basically have zero connection with most (if not all) of them. You can have all the budget in the world, if you don't care for the characters you should be rooting for, the movie is a fail. This fanfilm was just a bit of fun. :) But we once had an idea for a really cool adult Newt short film. It was something like this: "After the events of Aliens, Newt grows up to be vengeful, full of pain and emotionally scarred adult. Unable to find vengeance by her own, she seeks help throughout the Universe. She eventually finds it. On a desert planet, she meets a Space Jockey in a derelict ship. It's the very last of its kind. Advance technology is used to allow them to understand each other, and the alien life form tells its story. The elephant-like creature explains he's the last of a once nobble, intelligent and extremely naive race of beings. Naive being the key word. Their race once met the xenomorph race by chance, just like humans did in the events of Alien. It was no more than a random occurrence in the cloth of fate. As intelligent and curious as they were, they brought to their homeworld several hundred specimens of xenos and facehuggers. (just like humans wanted to do - although with much better intentions here) Needless to say, a xenomorph born from a 14 feet tall elephant-like being is at least 20x more deadly than a regular xenormorph born from humans. It was the end of the Space Jockey race. This last-of-a-kind creature Newt is talking to is possibly the saddest creature in existence in the entire Universe. The alien proceeds to explain they're unable to kill. It's part of their evolution. They're naive by nature, and simply can't kill, no matter how much pain rests inside. But the creature sees an opportunity. Although it can't kill, the human girl can. They can use their shared pain for a common goal. The Space Jockey offers Newt the necessary alien technology to fight xenomorphs, and they both go out to find the xenomorph's homeworld." The way I see it, it should not be an action movie. This whole "vengeance/war" theme should be kept as a background, just so that these 2 characters can share their stories and pain in a dramatic and emotional way. I mean, is there any movie that actually explored this? The saddest alien in the Universe and its interaction with a human? Should be very interesting to watch. I'd seriously consider doing that for fun someday :D Who knows in the future? ^_^ Edward, once again, thanks for watching and the amazingly kind words :) !
imo Alien 3 as it was, wasnt a bad way, i do agree that the Alien franchise could have gone in so many ways, and i understand your way of thinking, imo the best Alien Movies are Alien 2 and 3, the fourth one is sadly rather meh, this shortmovie, was awsome and very touching, i truly hope we get too see Newt in a great Alien Movie, i truly hate what has become of the AvP wich had just as much Lore to become truly awsome, but they fucked it up with AvP requiem, with the stupid thing that Predaliens could make own aliens, even if\maybe it was a Queen Predalien.
I with you brother, the whole franchise went downhill from 3! Marcio A grade short mate! Hope you one day get a chance to make things right with a full length feature!
An excellent film low budget or not, it's still miles above some full-feature films I've seen Thank You. So far, I've really enjoyed all the Alien Themed movies I've seen so far.
Permit me to be the latest in offering my congratulations and deepest thanks for such a creative and fulfilling endeavor! As a great fan of the films, this film has touched me as strongly as the moments that represent and demonstrate the humanity and emotion of the story. May great fortune attend your endeavors!
To the Producers, Director, Actors, and the the technicians, craftspeople, and artisans who came together to make this film : I am a writer, and indie filmmaker in the Manhattan Island area. I have seen over 40,000 feature films, and hundreds of Science Fiction / Horror short films........and I rate this film........in my personal Top 25. What you have done here. is astonishinly Beautiful. This is a marvel of imagination, organization, and execution. My hearfelt thanks go out to you. H. E. Sawyer, Jr., M. Sc,. PhD

Hi Dr. Sawyer, I'm trying to find words big enough to meaningfully thank you. What I'm saying now is from all my heart. Making films like these is an amazing, once-in-a-blue-moon experience, yet a super exhausting adventure all by itself. And it's quite a bit costly in time and money spent, I must add :D :D (although this one in particular was very cheap to produce :D ). When it's all done and finally released, I'm super glad people are enjoying it. It makes this whole journey worth it. But reading such lovely, heartwarming words like yours, I don't care how exhausted I was during the production of this film, my heart gets warmed and it feels every cent spent, every lonely night editing in front of the pc, everything makes tremendous sense in the end. It makes the whole journey more than worthy. I also feel super humbled by your words, as this little short film is the result of the amazing talent I was surrounded with. Without Elliot Goldenthal's masterful score (which I hope he doesn't mind we used it), or Luiza Greca's and Sergio Barreto's wonderful performances, this short film wouldn't have been 1/10th of what it is. Such amazing talents combined have made this little film an enjoyable experience, and I'm super glad I was this lucky to have those talents around. Dr. Sawyer, may I offer an idea? Luiza Greca is the kind of actress one finds once in a lifetime. I've worked a couple of times with her, and I honestly feel she is a Hollywood A+ material. If her acting career gets any propulsion, she is a Jennifer Lawrence in the making. Being extremely charming, humble, gorgeous-looking, young and capable of amazing acting, she's the whole package. I really believe if aided by an agent in the US, she can be worthy a ton of contract money in the future. She is definitely a Hollywood A lister, she only needs an agent guiding her career. If you have any project where she could fit, she's very interested in international chances regardless of paycheck or not. Oh, another interesting project I'd love to open with you =D This Aliens short film was a very small project. Since 2014, we're doing a much larger one based on the Avatar franchise (not Jim Cameron's one, the Last Airbender one :D ...I know haha ...that one...). We've filmed it back in 2016, and I'm post producing it for the past 3 years in my free time. Costs are up in the range of 15k USD, which is really nothing at all, but being a hobby it quite hurts my pockets haha :D It essentially takes everything our Aliens short did well (the dramatic, heartfelt story, great acting, visual effects) and takes it to a more Lord-of-the-Ring-esque situation. In case you're interested to see a trailer, please pm me: marcio3d@gmail.com Dr. Sawyer, thanks once again for your lovely words. That fuels us during those endless nights editing, and really makes this whole journey worth it! From all my heart, a massive thank you for the kindest words. Marcio Napoli

That. Was. Beautiful. I admit, I was expecting to see Aliens. But I don't care. That was great. See, I'm a big fan of the Newt character, and I disagree with one of your comments, I think Newt could carry on a whole Aliens series. In fact, I wrote an Aliens fan fiction trilogy centered around Newt as the main character, a direct sequel to Aliens and retcons Alien3 and Resurrection. The way you portrayed Newt is how I see her in my stories, she even looks like the actress I picked for my fan art, Summer Glau. Great stuff. I like it a lot. It almost made me cry.

Hi! :) ah that's interesting! We definitely agree, Newt could easily carry the weight of the franchise by her own, while Ripley takes a backseat, as an adviser, a pseudo-mother or something. Hicks and Bishop should've stayed alive too... Newt offers room for an incredibly complex and multi layered character. It's a tremendous pity they killed her in Alien 3 (although I love that movie as well). WeylandYutanilnc91, is there a way we can see your work on Aliens? I'm sure it's amazing! How can we see it ? If it's online, please publish the link! :) I'd love to see it, let's keep in touch. You can find me on facebook (Marcio Napoli Fotografia) Luiza Greca is a gorgeous actress, I'm very happy we had her on board :) If you wanna stay in touch with her, Luiza Greca (from Florianopolis) is her facebook.

Erm, I hate to rain on your parade but I don't think Newt would grow up to look like Summer Glau. If you see Carrie Henn now you'll see her and Summer Glau don't look anything alike. But cool idea, though.

Hi guys, it's Sergio Barreto from Brazil here.
We'd like to thanks for all the feedback, it's been a joyfull ride for all of us.
We're simply thrilled, so thanks a lot!
It's been a pleasure and an honor to have lived such an iconic character.
A character that's now imortal in our hearts, through the iconic performance by Lance Henriksen.
Hey,
i know it does not really correlates with canon, but let me try to theorise where exactly i think this short movie happened.
I think it happened in alternative universe, there were a different colony in LV-426, more advanced and weaponised - they had battle cyborgs.
I think commanding officers of the colony already knew that there is a xenomorphs on the planet, so they started to send people there. Mentioned patient zero were the first woman who encountered eggs - and been jmped up with facehugger. Another patients also went under the same fate.
That cyborg shooting patients - is colony oficers realising that they let things get out of control and too many now infected, so they killed remaining hosts. But it was too late, since xenos made a hive in the shores of the colony.
Newt's mother were along the infected. Newt herself managed to escape and hide, while reesearch staff, soldiers, cyborgs and officers were fighting the aliens, but they were overwhelmed.
Ripley and the marines arrived few days later.
But whole situation went a little different that were in Aliens. Bishop loaded all the information from colony's black box and needed to transfer that information back to the company. But in result, USCM rescue operation went in disaster, so in the end before nuclear exposion in the colony Ripley, Newt and corporal Hicks managed to escape. Bishop chose to stay on the planet to give them time to fly away.
Unortunatelly, they missed a facehugger on the ship. So when they went cryotubes, facehugger successfully infected Ripley, but caused a fire onto Sulako.
Then, pretty much Alien 3 happened, but with Newt and Hicks survived. Ripley also realised that she was infected, and killed herself in front of arrived WY stuff, and also distracting them from Newt and Hicks escaping the planet.
Years passed. Hicks and Newt joined the galactic nomads, and Newt swore on her parent's grave to fight Weyland Yutani and the xenomorph, because they took everything she loved and cared about.
One of these days she took a ship and flew to the ruins of the colony on LV-426 to face her past and what really happened on that colony. And to say her goodbyes.
Hi! Some folks are wondering where this story takes place in the canon timeline, and it simply fits nowhere. ;)
We had less than a thousand bucks for the entire production, so the only way to go would be to keep things simple, and play with a minimalist story.
As amateur films are so hard to produce, it'd be too complex for our budget to create new characters, and start their development arcs from the beginning.
We decided the only possible scenario would be to play with already existing characters (whose arcs every Alien fan already knows), and simply go from there, exploring an alternate storyline for these characters' devastated emotional conditions.
It's not meant to be canon in any way :)
It's just a love letter to James Cameron's work, to these unforgettable characters and the amazing actors that brought them to life.
Also, it's a bit of playing with every Aliens fan ultimate dream: "what if Newt was alive, where would the story go?". It's kinda a "what if" scenario, although a very vague one. ;)
In the end, it's just a love letter. Nothing more.
We had little budget and wanted somehow to show our love for the franchise.
Thanks for watching! :D
You did great and should be proud of you. Greetings and respect from Germany.
I can't believe you did this on a budget that small. It looks like it cost $5,000 to make! I loved every minute of this. Maybe you should call James Cameron and ask if he is interested in making a story about Newt.
hi largol33t1. Thanks! When you live in a relatively small town in Brazil where nothing interesting ever happens, if you show up to a group of actors saying "guys, let's shoot a fanfilm?", yeah, they'll be all very excited.
Most will do it just for the sheer pleasure of being in a film. (also, it's good portfolio for all of us)
The same goes for me I guess, I've worked behind the scenes (pre, production and post-production) for about a full year, and no payment. Sometimes, just being able to do what you love is amazing enough.
Most of the gear used (specially pro Nikon lenses) I've already had, as I worked as a photographer back in the day.
Also important to say, these locations were all free. No payment or permits were needed to use those locations.
Having essentially no costs with crew, gear and locations, the overall costs were quite minimal in the end. That's how we did it so cheap ^_^
On one hand it was cheap to produce, but on the other hand, the real "costs" were tons and tons of hard work from everyone involved. You really gotta love what you're doing, to make it to the very end of the post production schedule.
We're now post producing a new short film (not Aliens based this time), but production costs were a bit more serious this time.
I've spent 25 k on this new project, and even 25 k is barelly a scratch compared to pro cinema.
Thanks for watching and the super kind comments :D Thanks a lot!
Márcio Napoli
It took me a while to get back so I could read the reply Thanks for the information. It was fascinating to read.
How could some one not like this?
they kill the girl in the 3rd movie because theyre setting it in a rapist colony
and they just want to avoid having a little girl wandering around
they just need to eject "compromised pods" on the new infection at place
in that way you could get your 3rd movie yet allowing this to happens
Hard work. Closure for Newt. Very spot-on cast hired for it. Well done! (rough narrative!)
Thank you D. Wor! Really sorry for taking so long to reply, I was too focused on my photography channel that I didn't notice so many new comments on our Aliens short film. I appreciate a lot that you enjoyed our little film, thank you! Luiza Greca surely was the perfect cast for Newt, we were all very proud of her work. If you want to support us, please give a like on our photography videos. These short films are just a hobby, the actual focus of the channel are the fashion photo shoot videos.

This is what Aliens 3 should have been, where the movie we actually got could have been the "twist end reveal" as Newt uncovers even darker truths and conspiracies involving the WYC.
Excellent work!!! I'll be waiting for the next part of your movie!!!
This video is so full of emotion. Pain. Grief. The injustice. Not the first time I've watched this one, and every time I feel that same squeeze around my heart. Beautiful video.
Kinda gives some continuity to the "Aliens" (which was a great sequal) Movie, excellent story choice and execution.
"Whenever you think of me, I'll be by your side, whispering to your heart."
Lovely, thank you.
Minimalism done right. A moving tribute to the original story. Also a great job of exploring the humanity of Bishop's character.
I'm an aspiring filmmaker, and a die hard fan of H.R. Geiger's concept. This was a gift he left for all of us. What you did here, with this clip, is elaborate and expanded a little further on this gift, and in another language. You continued the art with the beauty of giving it in another language. This was phenomenal! Thank you. 😚😘😉👍🏾
Hi from the US. Excellent. Thank you for transporting me into your narrative.
Hi! This is Marcio, I've made this little fanfilm. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :) it's been a huge surprise and honor that this short film, which was recklessly made for fun in the free hours, has entertained so many people over the years, reaching out to almost a million views. So glad, and so surprised! Thank you! I really am. We've got another short in the works, which hopefully will be finished and will be a step above, carrying another beautiful message of altruism, friendship, courage, honor and bravery. Thank you once again for watching :)
I expected a bunch of teenagers with a webcam doing a reinactment of their favourite movie ...
... and I got THAT!
That was phenomenal - everything, the music, the visuals and especially the acting were superb. But obviously the editing and direction as well.
Just amazing.
Hi Mai, I can't even find words to say how gratefull we are with such kind words. Thanks, really, really thanks! Have a wonderful week :)
Márcio Napoli This is a terrific movie short! Very well written, produced, and directed!
Michael Dortman Hi Michael! Really glad you liked it :) Such kind words really mean a lot to us, to keep moving forward to the next project without ever earning a penny back. (how I wish Kickstarter were a reality here in Brazil too... ;D ) Thanks a lot, Michael!
In case you wanna follow our projects, let's keep in touch. We're about to start shooting a new short film, that will take everything that worked on Aliens and will now elevate these to the next level (a bit more budget, more experience, extra care, extra love).
It will be based on the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Lol yeah, we'll dare enter those disturbed waters :) It's a crazy plan, but I'm sure it will work. There's tons of love being sqeezed into it.
Thanks once again, Michael. Have a nice week :)
Very well done. No gore. Nothing very violent. Very emotional and sad. Yet, it feels very much like an Alien movie.
Wow. Not a single alien, but this really captures the sombre atmosphere of the movie.
DrownedInExile Thanks a lot! Really thanks! :) As we had no budget to try anything action oriented, we decided the best way to go would be to keep things simple, and play with the characters' devastated emotional conditions. The beauty of the Alien franchise is that it's much deeper on drama, it's much more 3d on human emotions, than many other sci-fi franchises. We tried to capture at least a little bit of that.
DrownedInExile, thanks a lot for your kind words!
The music really helps sell the tone and the somber emotional palette. My compliments to Elliot Goldenthal. He reminds me of Howard Shore.
There’s really no way to explain it better than her did. No aliens just the tone, perfect.
Congratulations to Brazil for this short movie. Well done! Muito obrigado!
Hi Knut, thank you so much! It's kinda unfortunate that we've alredy shot another much deeper, much improved (on all accounts) short but there simply isn't enough time to finish post production, and has been so since principal photography wrapped up in 2016. It's a short following the same basic idea: an amazing cast (most of them from this Aliens short film), superb acting, VFX, a dramatic story line and a story of bravery, companionship, courage, autruism and rise to a larger than life challenge. Hopefully one day it will be finished, hopefully :D in the meantime, thank you so much for supporting, watching and commenting :) Obrigado !!!
This is truly amazing and a far more satisfying conclusion to Aliens than Alien 3. For a bare bones budget, everybody who worked on this film deserves the highest of praise.
@Sun Dragon Empire ☀️🐉🔺IC 1101 Michael
You have certainly confused me with somebody else. Reread my comment. My comment has nothing to do with Japan.
Bishop looked more like Hicks ;) all in all great contribution to the Alien universe. Thank you!
James Cameron's Aliens has been one of my favourite science fiction/horror films since first watching it in 1988. For your description of the production budget being less than $1,000 used for this, this was a beautifully shot short film and tribute to Aliens. I always wanted to see Newt's perspective as an adult - thank you for providing this.
Bravo!
Dennis, thank you so much! Really wish somewhere down the road I'm able to do another short film. It's been a while... Thank you my great sir!
THANK YOU, Lance Henriksen and the folks at his official facebook page. Really, really thanks for helping us so much !!!
Our deepest appreciation and gratitude!!
Speaking on behalf of our team, thank you so much!
+eviltreemonster Hi! We're already doing it :)
It won't be based on the Aliens franchise this time. It will be centered on the Avatar world (The Last Airbender Avatar - I know..., we'll dare enter those waters... :D ) Thanks for watching!
There were no Aliens what's up

She's a very talented actress. Wish her the very best !
Márcio Napoli Jordan A Hey you guys!! Thank you so much! At the moment I don't have any work available ): But I hope to have more soon! Thanks again Jordan!
Great to hear from you Luiza! I'll be crossing my fingers for you :)
Excellent job with this!! Your eye for composition with the angles and lighting is definitely paying off here :) And btw that guy who's playing bishop, well the likeness isnt there BUT... he's the spitting image of Hicks!
Hey Jason, thank you so much! I wish I could put together a behind the scenes video (maybe I really should someday!), because there're some insane off cameras things to tell about. Example: the leading actress (Luiza) had never seen Aliens at the time, and just read the screenplay once I guess, and oh boy, she nailed it. The whole crater scene was shot in a single night way up into the dawn. When Sergio got up (Bishop), his legs were stiff almost as frozen, while lying down for many hours in the cold mud. BTW, if you liked his work, he has a relatively large YT channel here in Brazil (you can look for it as "Projeto Ator"). The main light you see on Newt and Bishop is nothing else than my car's headlight pointed towards them the whole night. Smokes effect came from a fog machine, which was pulling energy through a 100m cable connected to a nearby house (which we just asked politely if we could have their wall AC). Those were the days... That's what it takes to make low budget indie movies :) Thanks for watching and the kind words, thank you! ☺

@@maclemaster5966 I wish newt survived although I love Ellen Ripley nice job.
Awesome short!👍
On behalf of our team, I would like to thank all the comments and all the positive reviews, they are of the utmost importance for our work, and we gather to improve in all aspects! Thank you immensely for the compliments, are these attitudes that move our inspiration to perform more and more jobs!! Thank you to all of you!
It's a great shortcut.. congratulations. Please do more. Greetings.
Congratulations, When are you casting for next film.
Luiza greca you are so beautiful. love you
You are a real beauty.
Respect bro
Wow. Just starting and I'm already blown away!!!
Just finished. Amazing work my friend. You should be proud!
@@QCJSiteB thank you so much, Cobra, kind words like that really push us through the exaustion barrier when we're on new projects :D Really thanks! Subscribed to your channel I am (in Yoda's accent haha)
@ Of course! And yeah, I hear you, it can be aggravating, but it's worth it all to get real viewers who care, right? :)
Hi everyione! We've just published a new video: "The Mummy - Marcio Napoli". Just follow the link:
The Mummy - part 1:
th-cam.com/video/HaWavqjlXZc/w-d-xo.html
.
Would love to have your feedback there. It's a mix between fashion photography and movies, as it's basically shot in a movie set we've built.
You did this with less than $1000 ??? That movie looks better than many Hollywood movies, and I'm dead serious. What you did is amazing. I love the Alien franchise, and I thank you.
Hi! I'm super flattered by your comment, I really am! And on behalf of the whole cast, thank you so much! To be really honest, that little short was done without giving it too much thought (reason why the screenplay takes so much liberty - we could've never imagined it would eventually cross the half million views), that was shot way back in 2012 on a lowly GH2 (very poor 1080p video compared to today's offerings) and a very low end PC.
It's funny to think the lighting was partially done with my car headlights turned on throughout the whole night, providing that yellowish main light on the actors' faces lol :D So much improvised stuff. Yup, very low budget. But it's even more interesting to think with the exact same $1000 bucks today, so much better could have been done, I believe literally achieving professional cinema standards. Because nowadays there're much better cameras, lenses, lighting, audio and travelling gear available, faster computers, better stuff on all levels, not to mention we all got some extra experience in those years.
I already have another sci-fi screenplay written (it's not on the Alien Franchise, it's an original story following the same emotional and visual themes we see in franchises like Alien, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell). A story that would be made under much, muuch larger production value. I believe I can make it happen, we just need free time (this is a just a hobby lol) and some spare cash. Really hopping the whole world gets well and healthy again as soon as possible.
Once again, thank you for your kindest words!
This is beautiful, very well shot, fantastic acting from all cast. This is one of the best fan films out there, you deserve a lot of praise for this wonderful alien short film. It has more emotion than recent alien movies on the big screen. Well done to all involved.
this was truly amazing! props to all involved
This is truly great! I loved the characters Newt and Bishop in the original movies. Like the actors in those movies, the actors here, the direction, and the effects are awesome!
Loved this. Why couldn't Alien 3 have been more like this. Only thing I want to mention was that Newts father was Patient Zero on LV426 as is shown in the extended cut. But thats a minor nitpick. Great job. I hppe.you continue as a film maker.
Filme incrível. O Brasil precisa começar a investir mais em filmes como esse. Parabéns equipe, vocês arrasaram.
Hipnoticos Filmes, muito obrigada em nome de toda a equipe!! Ficamos felizes que tenha gostado :D
Cara vcs tem que consequi investimento para fazer filmes como esse. Muito bom mesmo. Melhor filme nacional do século 21.
vdd
Luiza Greca Show !! Que potencial !! Se já foi um sucesso esse curta com cerca de 10 min !! Imagina a possibilidade um longa contando com o apoio de um estúdio que detenha os direitos leia-se 20th Fox como é o caso de a mesma agora pertencer ao panteão de aquisições da Disney !! 😅👍🏻
E Bom? Tô assistindo
What a film! No words... just a marvel! Minimall staff limited resourses.. but still much greater and more emotional and...and...than many movies with huge budgets and big stars in the casts. Mr. Ridley Scott must see this and expand this story onto the feature film. Together with you. Marcio and others of course)
The alien 3 score work well with this movie
Hi Richard, this soundtrack is magnificent isn't it. Without a doubt, creating something with a heavy dramatic load and playing with this soundtrack were 2 of the main goals in making this short film. Thanks for watching and commenting!
hey what a sweet short! Loved it and subscribed to your channel. Great stuff !
Wow, this was an extraordinary fan film! I can't believe I have never seen this before. Amazing direction; beautifully shot with impressive visual FX; great screenplay with powerful emotional moments (especially where Newt hears her mother's final message to her); and an impressive cast.
I am honestly stunned at the quality of this piece! Wonderful work. A salute to Marcio Napoli, Luiza Greca (who was phenomenal in the role of Newt), Sergio Barreto, and everyone else involved. From the mouth of someone who has been a long-time fan of Aliens since he was a child, I love this fan film!
+Lux Bellator Hi Lux, thanks a lot, my friend! The kindest comments such as yours is what makes us go foward and keep going strong, driving us through the obstacles that inevitably happens along amateur productions. On behalf of our team, from all our hearts, thank you!
About Luiza, she's amazing, isn't she? :D I truly wish she could have opportunities overseas, as I believe she could be a movie star having the right connections. I wish her all the luck, and really do hope a movie producer is watching this short film, so she's able to find her way into Hollywood.
I hope the best for the entire cast, everyone made an amazing job.
Lux, since you liked this short film, we're already doing another one :D (but it won't be Aliens based this time).
The next project will be inspired by the Last Airbender franchise, which I'm also a huge fan. We hope to grab at least a tiny bit of the cartoon's emotional core, and hope it'll work at an emotional level as much as Aliens did.
It will explore themes like responsability, altruism, loss, courage, honor, friendship and love.
We're just about to enter shooting phase, so it's still a long road before it's finished. We expect at least 3 months shooting principal photography, and another 6 to 8 months on post-production. It's a long road ahead... lol :) But as soon as it's finished, I'll PM you :D
Once again, our deepest gratitude, Lux. Thanks a lot :D
Márcio Napoli Oh, thank you for such an in depth reply, Marcio! You are most welcome though, friend. It's most deserving. I'm glad my words could mean so much :)
And yes, Luiza is amazing! Her performance blew me away. I hope she finds success overseas also. She deserves it.
Liking the sound of your next project! I must admit, this may sound like blasphemy, but I haven't yet had a chance to see that show in its entirety, but I most certainly plan to! Looks like a great series, and I like the sound of the direction you're taking. Will any of the cast from this Aliens short be featured in that movie as well?
And yes, of course. That's completely understandable. But yes, please do! I'll be waiting on the other end once it's finished :)
Pleasure was all mine, Marcio. And please, call me Jon. Take care, :)
Completely great! LOVE this. Please keep making films.
Just stumbled across this gem. What you people did with a month's welfare in Finland far surpasses a plethora of full length movies in terms of dialogue, acting, editing, direction, visuals and CGI, dramatic beats and use of score albeit not original but the use was to a perfect effect. I applaud you. All of you.
Hi Tarva, I'm gobsmacked at your comment! :D It warms my heart to a point I can't describe in words, and I can say that on behalf of all the casting. I don't have enough words to thank you! From all my heart, I seriously appreciate it. Although we haven't released yet, we have another short already shot (in 2016, still waiting for post production to be completed) based on a very popular and beloved franchise (the Last Airbender's Avatar), and I have a screenplay written for an original sci-fi short that will borrow the same dramatic themes from the Aliens franchise, a story about bravery, compassion, altruism, friendship when two people are facing a life ending situation in a sci-fi battle. Both of these new films are still being made under amateur, hobbyist conditions, but since 2014 I've discovered a few techniques that will allow these shorts to really look like massive budget productions, even though they're still low budget amateur films. It's a lot of hard work, but when we receive comments like yours, it all becomes effortless, we feel all this time and personal money invested has paid off. From all my heart, thank you. Lovely words like yours is what keep pushing us forward through the challenges of amateur filmmaking.
@ can't wait for your new stuff!
Very well done love it
I love the minimalism of the narrative; the visuals are captivating; this is a very emotionally-driven piece. Great work!
Hey Jason, sorry for the super late reply. I'm trying to catch up, since (sort of) rebooting my YT channel a couple of years ago. Thank you so much! That was in fact our main goal here. It's not at all about visual FX, or the alien creature itself. I was far, far more interested in creating something emotionally-driven as you brilliantly put, something that could explore the pain and emotional devastation these characters were going through. Thank you for watching and commenting :) Well, if you wanna take a look, here's a trailer for our latest short film, which was entirely shot in 2016 but editing was never completed. I'm posting the trailer on my channel to see if we can find support, in order to finish this latest short. Here's a link for the trailer: th-cam.com/video/d016FEDqNt8/w-d-xo.html as was the case with this Aliens short, it's very emotionally driven as well. Jason, thank you so much for stopping by and commenting, I appreciate it a lot :)
atmosphere was incredible
Sorry for taking so long to reply, thank you so much! I'm really glad so many people liked it :) Thanks for watching and commenting :)
This short...oh man. I was welling up watching it. My favorite part is how you grabbed the best of Alien 3 which was the emotional soundtrack and implemented it into a really well made fan made film. Thank you for making this, it was a great experience.
Hi Greg, wow! I had to sign in just to reply you back. Thanks a lot, my friend, you can't possibly imagine how happy and rewarded with feel after hearing such kind words. It just gives us fuel to keep moving forward. Thanks a lot, really!
Right now, we're post-producing another short film we've shot earlier this year (this time it won't be based on the Aliens franchise). It will take the best parts of this Aliens short movie (the emotional core and great cast) and mix into an even bigger, Lord of the Ring-like, emotional journey.
It will take some time to finish the post-production phase, but as soon as it's done, I'll gladly email you to present this new short film.
Thanks a lot for watching, and for the kindest words. :)
+Márcio Napoli Please do, I really loved this. It really shows you guys put alot of care into something and is a shining example that you don't have to have an amazing budget to make something look so amazing. Please do email me.
Hi Greg! Once again, thanks a ton for your kindness! I even saw you replying another commenter just a few posts below, defending our little movie regarding changes in the official storyline. Thanks a ton!! :)
haha yeah!, there was a lot of passion on this Aliens project, but I'm proud to say that everything we did on this Aliens fanfilm won't compare to what we're doing on our next project.
This next short film (which is based on the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise - yeah, we'll dare enter those waters! haha) ran for a year and a half in continuous pre-production phase (crafting the story, then screenplay, storyboard, casting, building characters, costumes, props, etc).
Those were about 18 months of real hard work, wihout earning a single penny xD. I've paid for all the production costs, which ended up in about 25 grand, which is a lot considering there's no external funding. I just believe when you dream of something, go on full 300% mode, never go something in between.
Then, earlier this year, we've spent 3 months shooting with our cast (everyone, me included, working for free). Well, free is not the best word to describe it. We did it for love.
And now, this short film is going through a long post-production journey, which will probably go on for the next 12 months, with endless nights awake in front of the pc, working on the visual effects.
This entire process far exceeds what we did on Aliens, I'm really proud to say :)
It will take some time to show you the finished project, but I'll gladly email you when the time comes. =D
Thanks a lot once again, my friend.
Greetings from Brazil !
This is awesome and your work is awesome👌👍✋
Elliot Goldenthal's score makes this short film 10x better.
Awesome ! thank you !
Hi! Thanks!! xD
Galera, obrigado à todos pelos views e likes! Muito obrigado!!
Se curtiram este fan film e puderem nos ajudar, publiquem no facebook :) Será uma tremenda ajuda =D
Já estamos em pré-produção do próximo curta (que vai superar o Aliens em todos os sentidos). Aguardem! (para mais info, me procurem por email: marcio3d@gmail.com)
Em nome de toda a equipe, agradeço todo o apoio e incentivo!
Brilliant job! Thanks for the great job
Filme perfeito, eu me pergunto porque o Brasil não investe nesses filmes, são tão incríveis. Parabéns à todos, ficou um trabalho maravilhoso!!
Beautifully shot! Great CGI work, too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this short!! The film quality was absolutely superb! And the use of Alien 3 soundtrack was perfect! It conveys so much loss and despair but so beautiful. I really liked what you did with the story, it really could be a great tv show in the fashion you have made. Great job!
patrick thompson Hi Patrick! I'm really glad you liked so much, thanks my friend! :) We're trying to enter shooting phase of a new short film, based on the Avatar world (The Last Airbender Avatar, not the Jim's Cameron one lol). The idea is to fully explore themes of hope, loss, pain and despair once again, themes that are deeply related to the human nature itself, and that define us as human beings. We're still trying to enter the shooting phase, because as amateur films are so hard to produce, it takes a lot of lucky to make all things fit into place. But we're doing our best, hopefully it will happen!Patrick, thanks again for the kind words. :) Have a nice week!
Good luck with that! And you're welcome!
Absolutely superb 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧
Thank you so much Neil :) From all my heart, kind words like yours pushes us toward into the next project. We feel it's all worthy it. Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
So professionally done, my god what a polished piece of work. Congratulations to all the cast and crew. A special brava to the cinematographer, superb work!
Hey dumoulin11, sorry for the super late reply, my great sir! I've been rebooting my channel for the past couple of years, so I'm trying to catch up with all comments here, there's a lot to catch up :) I feel extra pleased with your comment because I loved doing this short's cinematography, being a photographer myself. haha I'm really glad you liked it :) Everyone did an AMAZING job, these were the days. Miss that so much, since life has become so different in the past years... Well, here's a trailer for our latest short film, which was entirely shot in 2016 but editing was never completed. I'm posting the trailer on my channel to see if we can find support, in order to finish this latest short. Here's a trailer for it if you wanna take a look: th-cam.com/video/d016FEDqNt8/w-d-xo.html as was the case for this Aliens short, it's very emotionally driven, very heavy on the drama. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, I appreciate it a lot :)
That was pretty good! Nicely done
That was awesome. Very somber. I love the Eliott Goldenthal Alien3 score as well. You must be a huge fan lol
great job touching and felt real,,bravo,, you all involved
That was breathtaking!!! I felt Newt's pain, sadness, and her hatred!! That 10mins filled me with more emotion then all the Alien movies combined!!! Thank you!!!!
Hey Jason, thank you so much! This was actually our goal :) it was not all about being in line with the canon events of the franchise... it was way more about exploring the pain, scars, and the emotional journey these characters have gone through. Thank you so much! We actually have shot another short (not related to the Alien franchise) which explore these themes in an even better way, but unfortunately I can't find free time to finish the post-production. I really hope someday we can finish it :D !
simply awesome!!! great job, perfect cast, striking beautiful photography...
Really enjoyed that. Was well made and acted. Thank you.
Awesome film. Loved it. Huge fan of the Alien and Predator franchise, hope you guys make another one in the near future? Love to see that one also...
Hi everyone! I wanted to thank you guys for all the support! As I said several times, every word, no matter how small, has a lot of meaning for us, mainly, we live by it! Our team worked very hard for a beautiful result. We are very happy with the disclosures, keep goinggg!
Thanks! You guys are amazing
Hey there Newt. We mostly come at night. Mostly.
But seriously. I really do appreciate your interpretation of that character.
New Adventure Cinema Thank you so much!!
New Adventure Cinema haha =D That joke never gets old! xD
Márcio Napoli
Luiza Greca Any chance you will do a follow up to this short?
Jordan A Luiza Greca New Adventure Cinema Hi Jordan! I believe we're not following up that specific project on the Aliens universe...
It's been one h#ll of a ride :D, which I'm extremelly glad to be part of, but maybe it's time to try something new. :)
We've got tons of other projects, mostly for dramatic stories with a mix of sci fi, waiting for a chance to see the light of day.
But living here in Brazil, it's pretty much a solid 100% certain that nothing will ever happen, on a comercial way I mean, so every project is made from our own pockets, and must be very carefully chosen.
I've been thinking of starting a project on Kickstarter to gather funds, but then again, the funds cannot be transfered to a Brazilian account, as I've read on their page. :(
So that idea pretty much died on birth :(
haha Any chance you're willing to be our agent in the US? ;D
Have a nice week, Jordan
This is fantastic. Great job . Please continue your work
THIS... IS JUST..... EPIC!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON CREATING A BEAST OF A FANFILM!
Hey!! Thank you so much!! It mans a lot for us! :)
amazing,amazing,amazing *.*
I loved everything about this short. it was extremely well polished and executed, not to mention creative.
Hi Tag Media! Very nice to read that kind of comment, it's really motivating. Thank you very much! :)
+Luiza Greca Have you appeared in any other films? I feel I've seen you before but I can't recall where...
So impressive! Better than some of the entries of the 40 year anniversary contest.
Huge Aliens fan here and I must admit, this was well done! I'd love to see more if you have any plans on doing more!
Hey D Mc, sorry for the super late reply. I've been rebooting my channel for the past couple of years, so I'm trying to catch up with all comments here. I do have a nice screenplay already finished for a new sci-fi, which is also very heavy on the dramatic background. It's not based on the Aliens franchise, it would be an original story. Problem is we haven't even finished post production for our last short film (which is entirely shot since 2016, but editing was never finished). Here's a trailer for that short if you wanna take a look: th-cam.com/video/d016FEDqNt8/w-d-xo.html
very awesome. Thanks for this guys.
Very well performed, directed, and edited. You played to the strengths you had and avoided the typical pitfalls of many independent productions of this sort. Well done. My only criticism, which was leveled at the film by others, is the slight overuse of score. I think a few more moments letting the performers penetrate through in silence would have suited the project for the better. Nevertheless, well done. I salute all of you for your hard work and obvious love of the Alien series.
Hi OpenMawProductions, I guess you guys are spot on, at the end of the day, I agree entirely.
I've watched this video countless times by now, and I gotta say I agree with you.
As an inexperienced amateur filmmaker, I guess I felt too scared to let the emotions breathe, and carry the weight of the scene just by the actors performances and the text itself, without any soundtrack behind.
It's somewhat a lack of confidence, we could say :)
Gotta take notes on that for a next project!
Thanks again for watching, OpenMawProductions!
Márcio Napoli I look forward to seeing what you do next!
Amazing short, really really well done. Congratulations for such a gorgeous, poetic film. Really amazing!
Thank you Marcio Napoli for this wonderful and heartbreaking "What If". 20th Century Fox had an infinite universe of possibilities with the Alien franchise and they botched it. I 'Booed' at the end of Alien 3. Ridley Scott added further damage with his 'Prequels'. Your Aliens: LV-426 is proof there are people out there with imagination and originality flowing through their viens. You dont need mega millions to produce quality product. This was engaging. There was genuine emotion. You could feel the lonliness and desparation and need for answers. Not one drop of blood or slime. Again, thanks for breathing life into Newt and Bishop. Your film could very well be a springboard for some studio executive trying to figure out how to get the franchise back on track.
Edward, can't find enough words to thank you. I signed in just to reply, thank you so much! To be honest, this little fanfilm's biggest merit may not be its originality, as it borrows established elements from all over the Alien franchise (specially from Aliens and Alien 3). But one thing we really wanted to pass to our audience: a movie doesn't need fancy high end visual effects, humongous budget or major set pieces to actually work.
All it needs is to show genuine love for the characters, their story arcs and their journeys. As long as there is deep, real emotion, the audience will connect to those characters.
Alien 4 and both Prequels have failed to achieve the status of classics, because they've failed to establish any lasting impression with those characters. We basically have zero connection with most (if not all) of them. You can have all the budget in the world, if you don't care for the characters you should be rooting for, the movie is a fail.
This fanfilm was just a bit of fun. :) But we once had an idea for a really cool adult Newt short film.
It was something like this:
"After the events of Aliens, Newt grows up to be vengeful, full of pain and emotionally scarred adult. Unable to find vengeance by her own, she seeks help throughout the Universe.
She eventually finds it.
On a desert planet, she meets a Space Jockey in a derelict ship. It's the very last of its kind.
Advance technology is used to allow them to understand each other, and the alien life form tells its story.
The elephant-like creature explains he's the last of a once nobble, intelligent and extremely naive race of beings. Naive being the key word. Their race once met the xenomorph race by chance, just like humans did in the events of Alien.
It was no more than a random occurrence in the cloth of fate.
As intelligent and curious as they were, they brought to their homeworld several hundred specimens of xenos and facehuggers. (just like humans wanted to do - although with much better intentions here)
Needless to say, a xenomorph born from a 14 feet tall elephant-like being is at least 20x more deadly than a regular xenormorph born from humans.
It was the end of the Space Jockey race.
This last-of-a-kind creature Newt is talking to is possibly the saddest creature in existence in the entire Universe.
The alien proceeds to explain they're unable to kill. It's part of their evolution. They're naive by nature, and simply can't kill, no matter how much pain rests inside.
But the creature sees an opportunity. Although it can't kill, the human girl can. They can use their shared pain for a common goal.
The Space Jockey offers Newt the necessary alien technology to fight xenomorphs, and they both go out to find the xenomorph's homeworld."
The way I see it, it should not be an action movie. This whole "vengeance/war" theme should be kept as a background, just so that these 2 characters can share their stories and pain in a dramatic and emotional way.
I mean, is there any movie that actually explored this? The saddest alien in the Universe and its interaction with a human? Should be very interesting to watch.
I'd seriously consider doing that for fun someday :D Who knows in the future? ^_^
Edward, once again, thanks for watching and the amazingly kind words :) !
imo Alien 3 as it was, wasnt a bad way, i do agree that the Alien franchise could have gone in so many ways, and i understand your way of thinking, imo the best Alien Movies are Alien 2 and 3, the fourth one is sadly rather meh, this shortmovie, was awsome and very touching, i truly hope we get too see Newt in a great Alien Movie, i truly hate what has become of the AvP wich had just as much Lore to become truly awsome, but they fucked it up with AvP requiem, with the stupid thing that Predaliens could make own aliens, even if\maybe it was a Queen Predalien.
There's no damage, Prometheus is amazing
I with you brother, the whole franchise went downhill from 3! Marcio A grade short mate! Hope you one day get a chance to make things right with a full length feature!
Edward Toyebo if you booed alien three, then you are a simpleminded Fucktard! Why don't you stick to action movies for small minded dip shits!
An excellent film low budget or not, it's still miles above some full-feature films I've seen Thank You. So far, I've really enjoyed all the Alien Themed movies I've seen so far.
Permit me to be the latest in offering my congratulations and deepest thanks for such a creative and fulfilling endeavor! As a great fan of the films, this film has touched me as strongly as the moments that represent and demonstrate the humanity and emotion of the story. May great fortune attend your endeavors!
This is amazing 👍👍👍👍
Muito bom hein, parabéns aos envolvidos.
VERY VERY VERY NICE
Thank you so much, and I LOVE cats, love more than I can say in words. Subscribed to your channel ! :)
this is amazing stuff, especially with the budget. Well done fellas
This is ... AWESOME! Great work!!!!!!
Hi Kobayashi, thanks a lot !! :) Really glad you liked it :)
This was very nicely done! Canonical to the story or not, I enjoyed it a lot, from the VFX to the well done angles I am thoroughly impressed! Bravo!
Thanks a lot UDF! :D That means a lot to us, really, really thanks! I've also hit like on your facebook page :D
Thanks a ton~ Glad that it meant that much to you and I can't wait to see what else you guys have in store!
Unrelenting Dawn Films (XGHOSTOFW4RX) Thank you so much!! We can't stop! Haha :D
Of course! ^_^
Absolutely captivating! Job well done!
To the Producers, Director, Actors, and the the technicians, craftspeople, and artisans who came together to make this film : I am a writer, and indie filmmaker in the Manhattan Island area. I have seen over 40,000 feature films, and hundreds of Science Fiction / Horror short films........and I rate this film........in my personal Top 25. What you have done here. is astonishinly Beautiful. This is a marvel of imagination, organization, and execution. My hearfelt thanks go out to you.
H. E. Sawyer, Jr., M. Sc,. PhD
Hi Dr. Sawyer, I'm trying to find words big enough to meaningfully thank you. What I'm saying now is from all my heart. Making films like these is an amazing, once-in-a-blue-moon experience, yet a super exhausting adventure all by itself. And it's quite a bit costly in time and money spent, I must add :D :D (although this one in particular was very cheap to produce :D ). When it's all done and finally released, I'm super glad people are enjoying it. It makes this whole journey worth it.
But reading such lovely, heartwarming words like yours, I don't care how exhausted I was during the production of this film, my heart gets warmed and it feels every cent spent, every lonely night editing in front of the pc, everything makes tremendous sense in the end. It makes the whole journey more than worthy.
I also feel super humbled by your words, as this little short film is the result of the amazing talent I was surrounded with. Without Elliot Goldenthal's masterful score (which I hope he doesn't mind we used it), or Luiza Greca's and Sergio Barreto's wonderful performances, this short film wouldn't have been 1/10th of what it is.
Such amazing talents combined have made this little film an enjoyable experience, and I'm super glad I was this lucky to have those talents around.
Dr. Sawyer, may I offer an idea? Luiza Greca is the kind of actress one finds once in a lifetime. I've worked a couple of times with her, and I honestly feel she is a Hollywood A+ material. If her acting career gets any propulsion, she is a Jennifer Lawrence in the making. Being extremely charming, humble, gorgeous-looking, young and capable of amazing acting, she's the whole package.
I really believe if aided by an agent in the US, she can be worthy a ton of contract money in the future. She is definitely a Hollywood A lister, she only needs an agent guiding her career.
If you have any project where she could fit, she's very interested in international chances regardless of paycheck or not.
Oh, another interesting project I'd love to open with you =D
This Aliens short film was a very small project. Since 2014, we're doing a much larger one based on the Avatar franchise (not Jim Cameron's one, the Last Airbender one :D ...I know haha ...that one...).
We've filmed it back in 2016, and I'm post producing it for the past 3 years in my free time.
Costs are up in the range of 15k USD, which is really nothing at all, but being a hobby it quite hurts my pockets haha :D
It essentially takes everything our Aliens short did well (the dramatic, heartfelt story, great acting, visual effects) and takes it to a more Lord-of-the-Ring-esque situation.
In case you're interested to see a trailer, please pm me: marcio3d@gmail.com
Dr. Sawyer, thanks once again for your lovely words.
That fuels us during those endless nights editing, and really makes this whole journey worth it!
From all my heart, a massive thank you for the kindest words.
Marcio Napoli

@ thanks ill do that
World class!!
Hey Bill, thank you so much :D !!
That. Was. Beautiful.
I admit, I was expecting to see Aliens. But I don't care. That was great. See, I'm a big fan of the Newt character, and I disagree with one of your comments, I think Newt could carry on a whole Aliens series. In fact, I wrote an Aliens fan fiction trilogy centered around Newt as the main character, a direct sequel to Aliens and retcons Alien3 and Resurrection. The way you portrayed Newt is how I see her in my stories, she even looks like the actress I picked for my fan art, Summer Glau.
Great stuff. I like it a lot. It almost made me cry.
Hi! :) ah that's interesting! We definitely agree, Newt could easily carry the weight of the franchise by her own, while Ripley takes a backseat, as an adviser, a pseudo-mother or something. Hicks and Bishop should've stayed alive too...
Newt offers room for an incredibly complex and multi layered character. It's a tremendous pity they killed her in Alien 3 (although I love that movie as well).
WeylandYutanilnc91, is there a way we can see your work on Aliens? I'm sure it's amazing! How can we see it ?
If it's online, please publish the link! :) I'd love to see it, let's keep in touch.
You can find me on facebook (Marcio Napoli Fotografia)
Luiza Greca is a gorgeous actress, I'm very happy we had her on board :)
If you wanna stay in touch with her, Luiza Greca (from Florianopolis) is her facebook.
Thanks again, WeylandYutanilnc91

They're all right here, my scripts are Aliens Unleashed, Apocalypse, and Vengeance, in that order. Hope you enjoy them. You can also browse my fan art I made in conjecture with my scripts.
WeylandYutaniInc91 Hi Wade! Thanks for sharing the link :) I'm off to a photoshoot assignment today, but I promise I'll read them this weekend. I'm already thrilled, it looks really amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing them.
No pressure. You can read them whenever you want.
Erm, I hate to rain on your parade but I don't think Newt would grow up to look like Summer Glau. If you see Carrie Henn now you'll see her and Summer Glau don't look anything alike. But cool idea, though.
This is great. Awesome
Beautiful. That you made this for $1000 only is extraordinary!
I love the sound track! Really captures the feel. Awesome job!
This is really well done and well played out. Super and really excellent . You did really great. Keep at it. !!!! 10 stars!!!
